1813 Stampless Folded Letter Re: War of 1812, datelined "Hudson Sept 18th, 1813" and addressed to [Capt.] Peter Ogilvie in New York. Ogilvie was born in 1792 in Little River, Nova Scotia and commanded in the War of 1812. He was captured by the British at the Battle of Queenston Heights in Canada. The letter is written by James Rovert Mullany discussing Ogilvie's "arduous and disparate command on the 13th of October 1812 at Queenston. I know ... to entitle you to the character of a brave and valuable officer." signed Jason Robert Mullany / Lt. Col. 23rd Infantry. Insignificant stain on front does not detract from the historical importance of this otherwise very fine letter. (Image)
